BMW brought out the new R 1200 GS in 2004 as the successor to its successful R 1100/1150 models. Following the good old GS tradition, the bike is unrivalled on the market. From the word go, it was the best-selling motorbike in Germany in 2004 and 2005. With electronic petrol injection, regulated catalytic converter and (as an optional extra) safety-boosting ABS braking system, the R 1200 GS offers the forward-looking technological, environmental and safety standards that have been the hallmark of BMW motorbikes for many years.The R 1200 GS delivers reliability at the highest possible level. And when the equipment, engine and chassis are looked after properly, which is no big deal for well-practiced hobby mechanics, the big GS is the ideal universal bike for leisure time, travel and adventure. A bike that will be a loyal servant to its owner for many years. But despite optimum maintenance and care, there can be times on the streets of this world when a problem crops up and there is no BMW workshop nearby, and for that this book was written.
